The success of Michelle Branch's 2001 album, The Spirit Room, and its hit "Everywhere" jump-started the 19-year-old singer/songwriter's career. Her performance on Santana's new single, "The Game of Love," is keeping her in the public eye so that when her sophomore album hits in March, Branch may, indeed, be everywhere.
"When I get through with promotion with Carlos I am going to go home and relax and finish making the new record," she said, smiling (see "Santana Says Angels Recommended Michelle Branch For Song" ).
Why shouldn't she be calm? Branch already has six songs written for the disc, including the reflective ballad "Standing on the Edge," which she has regularly performed in concert. And she's got a game plan for the rest of the album, which won't necessarily reflect the tone or mood of her debut.
"The whole overall feel of the record is more organic," she said. "It's acoustic at times, but it also rocks a little more in certain parts. I think I've done some growing up, so the way I'm writing and the chords I'm using, it's all changed."
John Shanks, who worked on The Spirit Room (as well as albums by Melissa Etheridge and Chris Isaak) will again produce for Branch, but the chanteuse is also lining up a more unlikely cast of production assistants including Greg Wells, who has worked with Rufus Wainwright, and Josh Abraham, who has produced for Crazy Town and Limp Bizkit. And, if all goes well, Branch will also be hooking up with Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland.
"He would be producing a track or two," Branch said. "I am a huge fan of his, so I'm really excited to see what turns out."

Travel Blogs from Lanai City
The north shore on very narrow roads
... bags and headed off to explore the northern coastline and 'the road to Hana'. The map did have a warning about narrow roads, but we didn't think it could be sooooo bad, so chose to take the shorter looking road to the north rather than making a large detour round the south as our navi/GPS suggested. In fact the road was VERY narrow and one way in many places. We took it slowly, using our horn a lot, and only had one tricky situation being squeezed up against the rocks ...
Up in the clouds
... National Park. The summit of 10,0023ft is reached following the 27mile highway through its twists and turns. We stopped for coffee at the Kula Lodge which had amazing views of the whole NE of the Island and fabulous gardens. It is worth checking it out on line. On our way up we called at the first Visitor centre at 7,000ft and our lovely view was obscured by cloud cover most of the time with an occasional glimpse of the views, but ...
Our Happy Place
Maui felt like the right place to begin our deferred time since we consider it to be "Our Happy Place". As usual, it didn't disappoint with its warmth, smells, surf, turtles, whales, and the turquoise water. Along with a whale watching tour, a hike to 4 waterfalls, walking the beach, a wonderful day of snorkeling at Honolua Bay, we spent many hours watching the incredible surf and the humpback whales. The surf was unusually high this ...
Black Rock Beach and Luau
... has the same floatation devices that we rented for her. But needless to say, after consuming a few cups of Pacific ocean, I survived this experience and will not be the October 14th story on ID (the TV channel). I do think Melissa drank a lot more water than I did throughout the swimming experience, I was waiting for her to start hallucinating like they do on How Did I Survive, except those are usually the people that ...
Pacific Whale Foundation
... and Mel find it taxing. I hope that they know that I envy their parenting skills and I find both of their children a joy to be around. Henry is so full of wonder and imagination and Penny an independent beautiful ray of sunshine poking through the clouds. Brian and Gaitaine's kids as well. Ivy was so well behaved and Liam definitely a leader among men. A real confidant take charge kinda guy. I respect that. Owen and Macyn fared ...

Husband Addicted to Porn? How to Cut His Access
A large percentage of men, including Christians, are addicted to pornography. Your husband may have tried to quit, but keeps going back. If you install content-blocking applications, like Net Nanny, you must install it on all computers. However, if he is smart, he can figure out how to disable it or get a new computer. Severe addiction can ruin your relationship with him, as he ignores you are prefers his online fantasies. We are going to use the free DNS management services FamilyShield by OpenDNS to block his access to the vast majority of pornography sites available on the web.
FamilyShield - Easy
In June, 2010 OpenDNS initiated FamilyShield, an all-in-one easy way to filter your Internet, blocking content based upon:
- Adult websites that are unsuitable for addicted husbands
- Proxy and anonymizer sites commonly used by savvy husbands to bypass traditional Web filters
- Phishing sites that aim to trick you into handing over personal or financial information
- Some virus-spreading malware websites
Simply by changing the DNS servers in your router, you can block objectionable material automatically. Generally, you can get to your router through the following link:
Going to this IP address will bring up the control panel for your router. Your control panel may or may not have a password to gain access. Check your router's manual for the default password and change it once you login. You can usually find the manual online. Just type the router's model number with the word "manual" in a Google search. When in doubt, try the username as "admin" and the password as "password" or blank. Once you login, CHANGE THE ROUTER PASSWORD! You can get specific instructions for your router at the OpenDNS website:
Once logged in, you will want to look for DNS settings to modify. Usually, these settings will be found under the "advanced settings" category. Look for something that says, "DHCP Settings" or "DNS Settings." If your DNS setting is set for "dynamic" change it to "static" and enter the IP addresses for the OpenDNS DNS FamilyShield servers:
- 126.96.36.199
- 188.8.131.52
Save your settings and restart your router. You're done! Get started now:
Your sexual responsibility
Now that you have blocked your husband's major sexual outlet, you need to provide him something better - YOU! The average male younger than 80 years old "needs" sex every day. This concept seems to escape most wives, whose sexual desire is much less. If you don't believe me, ask him directly, "Do you want to have sex every day?" Here is what the Bible says about the topic:
Let the husband fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again lest Satan tempt you because of your lack of self-control. (1 Corinthians 7:3-5)
OpenDNS provides free content filtering services for individuals and families, allowing you to block pornography your Internet content. By changing a couple settings on your router, you can control what Internet material comes into your home for free. Although this technique does not block all inappropriate content, it is much better than allowing your husband unhindered access to material that is wrecking your relationship.

Beware of Organized Day Trips/Tours
You should be really careful when planning day trips, excursions, etc. in a tour group in Turkey (especially in the coastal towns). Many times when you purchase just a ferry ticket to certain destinations in Turkey, the seller will not tell you upfront that it is part of an organized tour and you will not be able to explore on your own. Even worse, the tour guides will only take you to places where you might spend a lot of money (like a jewelry or leather store). Some of the items in these stores cost several thousand euros and the sales clerks will pester you the entire time. In general, when buying a ferry ticket or organized day trip, make sure you get all the details upfront, so you know what to expect and don't feel cheated or disappointed on your trip.Related to:

Visa Entry to Turkey
Not sure where to post this but just found out that any visitors to Turkey now require an e-visa after April 2104.
Instead of the pay £10 at entry that has been the norm until now.You have to apply on line fill in and pay on line.

They sell fake gems...I was on RSSC Mariner 23 APRIL 2013 bought what I was sold as EMERALDS and I know my gems, BUT on returning home the stone is crysophase.
Fortunately the gold and diamonds are real ....BUT ADVICE TO ANYONE IN THE VICINITY STAY AWAY AND VERBALLY ACCUSE THEM OF THEIR SHIFFTY DEALINGS.
They dont expect you to be able to come back at them BUT I am working on it at this moment with a Turkish contact.Related to:

Carry your hotel card with you
Not many people in certain parts of Turkey speak English. The pronunciations of the names of the places sounds very different from the spellings. So it is better to carry your hotel card in case you want to ask for the way to get there!! This holds true for shops that you are interested in going to. In case you have their card, do carry it and ask for directions using the card.
Crazy Drivers
I had been warned by fellow friends and travellers who had been to Turkey and im glad we didnt hire a care for our two week stay here,which we usually do when we visit a new country.
They are insane no respect for other drivers,even pedestians,swerving in and out of lanes mounting curbes at silly miles an hour and parking in the middle of the roads are just a few of their tricks.And i thought Greek drivers were the worst but they are safe compared to these guys.BewareRelated to:

Visa for Americans - you can be ripped off!
Be very careful about what you pay for a visa at the Turkish border. I have travelled many times in Turkey and each time you enter you have to buy a visa. Most visa agents are honest, but some will take advantage of the fluctuation in prices to overcharge a tourist. For example, in Nov 2004, the visa agent in Bodrum demanded $100. I had previously checked the price, so I put up a big fuss and asked to see his official price list. Of course, the current price was $20. He said that he had just "forgotten" the current price and smiled and accepted the correct $20. Because the price fluctuates, be sure you ask around lots of travellers about the current price and if the price seems outrageous, ask to see the official list.
To be well-prepared, you could look at the official turkish embassy site before you go so you would know correctly the current price.

Foreign women, expect to be hit on aggressively
I've never had as many men (seven) approach me with offers of sex in so short a time (three months)! I experienced repeated advances and stalking in Bakırköy and Taksim, and unwelcome kissing and touching in Sirkeci. You can be targeted even if you're fat and bald - as I was.Related to:

Do not buy a carpet here
Do NOT buy a carpet here!"
Do not buy a carpet in Turkey and have it delivered to your country. My wife and I bought a carpet in Cappadocia and we rue the day. The carpet finally arrived but was visibly damaged in several places. The carpet factory is Anatolia Hali. The address is Goreme Nevsehir and it's in Cappadocia. The salesman told us it was a dowry carpet but that he got it on consignment because it was too big for the house the young couple were moving to. He later claimed in an e-mail that he had told us it was a USED carpet and we should not expect perfection but this is untrue: he had told us that it was a dowry carpet and that it could NOT be used by the woman who made it. We would never have bought a used carpet We bought the carpet, and the man guaranteed in writing that the price included the carpet, delivery, any custom charges and insurance – everything. About seven weeks later we got the carpet but it was clearly damaged. I took photos of the damaged parts, and e-mailed them to the salesman asking him what he would suggest we do. This started a chain of "apologetic", vague notes from him but never a word about compensation.
We had given up trying to reason with him but about a month later we received a bill from TNT express for $178.49 for custom duty. I wrote to the salesman, expressing my shock about this and another chain of utterly insincere "apologetic", vague notes followed. Again, no assurance of compensation.
I had to pay the custom duty myself and I told the salesman that I would tell the world about his way of doing business unless he compensated me within 10 days.
That was about 4 months ago. He did not send me the money. I am sure that not all merchants in Cappadocia are dishonest and will stop at nothing to make money but please beware of buying anything at this carpet factory, especially if it has to be delivered to another country! And do your friends a favor by sending this warning to them. Turkey was a wonderful country to visit but the incident with the carpet left a very bad taste in our mouths.Related to:

Belek Antalya is upscale tourist zone with some of the best hotels. Consequently best location for taxi drivers trying to hustle and rip off the tourists. They will give you wrong fixed tarif, they will turn on 'night rate ' during the middle of the day , they will not return your change back if you do not give them exact amount, and if you object to any one of these they will yell, screem , and be aggressive towards you so that you will be happy to be alive !! Unfortunately there is no place to complain and there is no control mechanism. This is why they are so free to be like they are. Use hotel service as much as possible. Inquire about local bus service . Walk if you can. But never take a taxi. If you have to talk with the hotel desk and find out the exact fare and prepare the exact change and before get on any taxi give the license plate number to someone who can monitor your trip.Related to:

Warning when your airline's Turkish Airlines(THY)
This experience is in no way disrespecting THY or the Turkish people but just one horrible experience I've encountered. Maybe I was in Turkey in the wrong time.
11/22/2009 (Sunday)
My flight back to US was a disaster. I was in the airport 2 hours prior to my departure. I Was standing in line for 1.5 hours to check-in my luggage, when I finally reached the Attendant, I was told that my flight had been cancelled. No announcement was made, THY had a backlog of flights from 2 days. People had been on waiting list for 2 days. There was no system/contingency plan, passengers were left on their own to find their way out of Istanbul, it was chaotic.
The lines were long, because people or some passengers who have good connections(maybe relatives) with THY were cutting infront of us, an older gentleman was complaining, asking for the Supervisor but THY staffs kept ignoring him.
Wheww! At that time, I swear I'll never go back to this place ever again. I finally hooked-up with a couple of Canadians, and found a flight out to New york City. I told the attendant that I don't need any connection to New Jersey as long as I can get out of Turkey...
Bottom line is...You have to be at the airport 2 hrs prior to your departure(international), or you might encounter difficulties checking-in.
More accidents during Ramazan
During Ramazan driving on Turkish roads can become hazardous, especially in more rural conservative areas, e.g. in in Central & Eastern Turkey.
Be careful especially in traffic before sunset because believers have not been eating for hours and are pretty exhausted / unconcentrated. Additionally, most are in a rush to get home/in a restaurant for dinner and drive rather ruthless. The increase in traffic accidents during this time (and bank holidays) is statistically proven.
Restaurants are also more crowded during this time, especially for "early birds". Many restaurants offer only limited or special Ramazan menues.Related to:

Marmaris."sell roundtrip"
I made a day excursion from Rhodes to Marmaris by boat.In Rhodes said me that the boat arrives at Marmaris at 10 'o clock in the morning and departures at 17 'o clock.From the port would transfer us buses from|to the city center(it was about 4 klm far) with a tourist guide and they would make us a small roundtrip before.It sounded very nice at that time but they went us at first to a jewelry (of course to buy) for 1 hour than to a carpet store and after a demostration of carpets we were free.It was 13 'o clock and at 15 'o clock we musted be at the meeting point to drive back to the port although that the boat departures at 17 'o clock and it was about 10 minutes far.You can imagine why that happens....because they made us a stopover to a traditional sweet factory of course to buy sweets!!!In Marmaris we payed 50 euros for lunch for two persons!!!If someone is planning to make this trip should take a taxi from the port to the city center for 7 euros and will have the day free.
This is always good to remind ourselves, especially those from central and northern Europe, Turkey has Mediterranean climate and it can be very hot, it is recommended drinking a lot, much more then we usually need in the north, and I do mean water and soft drinks ;-)
*Feeling a slight headache might be a first sign of dehydration, stop all activities, get away from the sun, sit in the shade, have a drink and rest.
No Swimming When Drunk
I guess I could have long list of dangers here, from the traditional tourist point of view (which is in every country) to the complications it might be in Turkey regarding many issues such politics, religion, laws etc, so better just avoid such issues and don't go swim in the sea when drunk.
Sensitive conversation topics
Turks are very friendly people and we had many great conversations with them during our stay in their country. However, be aware that there are certain topics where you have to be very careful. These are, in no particular order:
1.) Islam. 98% of the Turks are muslims. Even if a Turk looks secular, they may be religious, and will not appreciate you criticizing their religion.
2.) Ataturk. He is their country's founder and greatest hero. Speaking negatively or sarcastically about him is likely to produce very negative reactions.
3. The Armenian events of the First World War. The Turks strongly dispute the accusations that have been made regarding those events and will give you an earful if you bring up the topic.
4.) The Kurds. Turks have a wide variety of opinions regarding the Kurds. Let them bring up the topic first and hear their opinion before opening your mouth and inadvertantly starting an argument.
In general, keep in mind that most Turks are very proud of their country and don't like to hear it being criticized. They will, however, usually be willing to discuss current politics and foreign affairs. Just realize that there are boundaries, especially the ones that we listed above.Related to:

Posted on April 23, 2014 by julianstodd
I'm just back from a weekend in the Netherlands, which included a visit to Efterling, one of the world's oldest theme parks and home to the Enchanted Forest. As the name suggests, it's a woodland setting for a range of … Continue reading →

How Social Leaders fight fires wisely
Posted on December 3, 2013 by julianstodd
A busy day today, supporting a team under pressure. I recognise in myself some patterns of behaviour: some of them constructive, others less so. It turns out i'm far from perfect under pressure, but am, at least, in good company. … Continue reading →

Awful Wreck of the Magnificent Steamer Atlantic on Fishers Island in the Furious Gale
Atlantic in waves, sailing to left in image. Bodies on deck, in water and on land down in lower right corner. From the Inventory Listing of Sidney A. Alpert "Awful Wreck of the Magnificent Steamer "Atlantic" / (7.14 x 12.13) 1846, N. Currier - S "
The Atlantic was launched in May of 1846, and was the first steamboat to introduce gas lights on board. Although ranked highly among steamboats for speed and beauty, the Atlantic was not able to withstand the stormy seas of New England. This lithograph documents the Atlantic's tragic finale, when a treacherous storm blew in after the vessel left New London, Connecticut. Strong winds caused one of the boilers to explode and the steamboat ran into the rocks near Fishers Island. In the print, massive white waves spray into the black night sky and an estimated 50 lives were lost when the boat sunk.
Currier & Ives illustrated America's growing interest in technology and transportation. Steamboats were often dangerous and the publishers did a brisk business marketing their approximately 50 steamboat disaster prints.
Date: 1846

Chew Volume 2: International Flavor (edition 2010)
by John Layman
Work details
Chew, Volume 2: International Flavor by John Layman
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Com certos momentos ímpares, cai por vezes no aborrecimento. Ainda assim, mantém-se perfeitamente subsumível à categoria dos dois pares de estrelas. ^^
This is volume 2 in the graphic novel series about Detective Chu the Cibopath.
The overall pacing and story were stronger this time around, if not quite as engaging.
A few new characters were introduced or fleshed out, the frogs were hinted at which made me happy and while I still don't like most of the characters here it was interesting to see how the reintroduction of his partner from the fist book made Chu feel more fleshed out and real. The world itself is getting more fleshed out which I think helped with the feeling of this being a stronger story.
Overall a very solid entry into the story, if not quite as fun and creepily whimsical. If you enjoyed the first one you will enjoy this one.
Very well done. For some reason I didn't enjoy this volume as much as the first, but it was still quite an enjoyable read. This volume felt more chaotic than the first and I wasn't as drawn in. However it was wonderful nonetheless and I look forward to reading the third volume.
While I enjoyed this volume in general, I did feel like the issues were a little too broken up with prologs and epilogs etc.
Really enjoying this series. Going to hit the next one very soon. :)

Why TinyMCE?
There are a lot of questions we're asked quite frequently about SilverStripe, so we thought it might be a good idea to start addressing some of these through blog posts. First up, this tweet prompted us to talk about why we use TinyMCE as the WYSIWYG component of our CMS.

Note there is also a Category:Sangre de Cristo Range -- which properly says that it's the southern Colo portion. IB there are also quite a few Colo pix in the master category.

which detent? there were 2 different metal ones, the early one had a bend in it that protruded into the barrel the later ones just had a hook on the end.
I can finally play in this thread.
Im slowly resurecting this marker, I was wondering if anyone thinks the old metal detents should stay or go, I think plastic would be better on paint,

While it's usually true that time flies, for New York Giants safety Will Hill, the weeks he spent serving a four-game suspension didn't go fast enough. Hill, whose suspension was over a violation of the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, couldn't wait to get back to work Wednesday. "I ran here," he said with a smile. "I was here at 6 o'clock. Meetings didn't start 'til 8. "I was at home, just hanging out with the kids, keeping the body in shape, but it ain't nothing like being amongst your teammates and your coaches." Hill is not on the active roster; the Giants have a one-week exemption that expires next Monday to either add him or release him. He said he felt as though he could step right back into the mix if the coaches needed him to, despite his inactivity. "I didn't lose a step," he said. "Just because I wasn't here, I was still working. I was always grinding. I called Ray Buchanan and the first week I was out, I went down there (to Atlanta) and got with...

Does that mean a whole lot of kids got named 'Titanic' or 'White Star Line'?
Otherwise there wouldn't be a supply of gullible morons with huge bonuses to buy a bit of dried up pork.
Kerry Katona's shock revelations pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and special commemorative pullout
Also inside. Do immigrants cause cancer? Melanie Phillips investigates.
Mandelson is concentrating on immediate gains in relatively well understood fields where Britain will be competing against other countries - most of which will still have large manufacturing bases ready to commodotise discoveries. So even if we do find something cool, we won't be able to make it.
He should be doing a DARPA and funding seriously blue-sky research in the full knowledge that things might not work out - but if they do, we will have a field more or less to ourselves.
In short, John Naughton is bang on the money.
Oh and the majority of money will still go to the Russell Group of universities whether they deserve it or not.
I'm no Prince of Darkness, Simon Cowell, but did no one in the FA realise that there was an opportunity to run a prime-time, phone-in, six-month-long, Saturday night TV 'talent' contest to find the 'best' team song?
ITV are gagging for content and cash right now and here was the perfect chance to fill more of our gutter-scraping tabloids with slebs.
The answer is Segways!
One is a glorious Baltic port with stunning architecture, beautiful people and an enthusiastic embrace of the herring. The other has a large shopping centre.
But both of them are natural homes for the Segway. American visitors can zip around the Swedish capital on guided Segway tours if they find the city's frighteningly efficient public transport, or generously proportioned pavements all too European for comfort.
As for the little utopia that is Milton Keynes - the security guards at 'The Centre: MK' as it likes to be called, stand on them so they can see over the heads of shoppers.
Is butane and/or propane, neither of which vaporises in Titanian conditions.
As for exploring the place, can't we just drop the tedious Bear Grylls on the moon and see if he can survive using nothing more than a block of frozen hexane and his underpants?
Cheaper and it was designed to be suitable for bankrupt countries with lousy education and appalling infrastructure.
It's just common sense economic policy. China needs to keep its economy growing and is aware that the next lot of cheap manufacturing countries are following along behind. Moving up the manufacturing ecosystem to produce finished objects is good practice.
As for China being left behind when the next technological leap occurs. I doubt it; their R&D (especially in rare earths) is second to none.
Oh and because it's China, I wouldn't be surprised if their mining groups end up being the ones who eventually get the contracts to extract rare earths elsewhere in the World. They'd only be following the example of Sinopec which has been tying up exclusive development contracts for oil and gas in the Middle East and Central Asia.
The iPhone's been on sale for three years, the Blackberry for even longer - and yet Kodak have only just got round to noticing an infringement?
Is if Avatar had expanded interest in well-told, dramatically engaging, complex storytelling. But 'Dances with Wolves' for the ritalin generation didn't have any.
The Nuremberg Laws are nothing to do with the defence plea at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial. Instead they were a series of edicts first announced at the Nazi Party Conference in 1935 which stripped Jews of German citizenship and their rights.
I think you're thinking of the 'Nuremberg Defence'.
So while the new British law is bad, it isn't comparable to the Nuremberg Laws.
Oh goodie - after finally killing off HD-DVD, the media industry can get down to doing what it does best - producing any number of rival formats to sting early adopters. Bonus marks will be awarded to the company that manages to include DRM in their 3D technology.
Count me out of this one.
'I imagine that other leading causes of sudden unexpected death in Spain include vehicle accidents, cot deaths and big men with moustaches, knives and an adverse disposition.'
not forgetting people being crushed by donkeys falling off church towers.
Very small particles decelerate rapidly when hitting the atmosphere and are structurally robust enough that they just filter down through the air as meteoritic dust. Really big objects - think house size and above, are so massive in comparison to their surface area that they hardly decelerate at all and hit with their original velocity.
For objects between these sizes all sorts of things can happen. generally, the smaller and denser the object the more likely it is to reach the surface; however, relatively large (several metres across) stony meteorites (or the bizarre carbonaceous chondrites) tend to disintegrate through deceleration in the upper atmosphere and very little survives to hit the ground, or what lands is a shower of fragments.T =he vast majority of meteorites are made from stone, however, almost all the largest meteorites are made from structurally resilient iron/nickel.
There's been quite a lot of excitement recently caused by the release of classified data showing that relatively large objects are ploughing into the upper atmosphere and exploding on a quite regular basis. And when I say exploding - I mean think multi kiloton explosions:
The fact that the changes will cement the powers of the disastrous Digital Economy Bill is what we should really be worried about. That too is going to be shoved through Parliament with the full support of the Conservatives.
Not just because it guarantees a ready supply of lovely Pu238, but because it means we'll get more cool-looking hardware.
...watch that advert for Samsung televisions with the hummingbird? It looks just as pretty as 'Avatar' and has a better plot.
'Heathrow was reduced to giggling chaos this afternoon when a passenger was found to have written 'Fuck You Alan Johnson' across his buttocks in magnetic poetry'.
And getting hold of the image would be the best DPA request ever made.
This is a brilliant plan but falls down with Lewis' unprovoked use of wit, sarcasm, punnery, semicolons and three-syllable words.
Either that or Fruit of the Boom.
A few flakes of slow and the country would be undefended until the gritters get out.
Surely we will only be secure when the bowel-fixated Doctor* Gillian McKeith is running homeland security?
* Not really a doctor but it did get her a TV contract.
The SRBs are the most obvious weak spot for low temperatures as the rubber O rings need to remain flexible. The revised SRBs now include electrical joint heaters to keep the rubber soft.
But low temperatures are a real problem as ice accumulates on metal surfaces. During take off this comes crashing loose from the gantries and can impact on the Orbiter, gouging the tiles, which dramatically affects the aerodynamics. After the Challenger launch, the tiles on the wreckage were found to have experienced hundreds of ice impacts in the very first seconds of the flight.
Finally, all that ice makes the metal surfaces of the pad slippery for workers.
Knowing that my personal information is being protected by the impossible to crack 'What was your mother's maiden name?' question.
Thank you Mr. Johnson.
BTW. Can the Reg find out how many New Labour drones have signed up for their commemorative Blunkettcard?
Can you play 1080p through component or do the movie studios assume you're a nasty pirate if you want to use those cables?
Also, I agree the PS3 is a great BluRay player, but it sucks as a DVD player if you try upscaling the image - it makes almost as noise as an XBox 360 and the image isn't any great shakes.
Just to be a total heretic, my el-cheapo Toshiba HD-DVD player does a much better job of playing upscaled DVDs, both in terms of image quality and not sounding like it's about to explode; and the few HD-DVDs that were released are indistinguishable from their Blu-Ray equivalents.
The end of the World took place Tuesday just before tea time. You might have missed it because frankly, it was a bit of a cock-up. The third of the seas turning to blood was cancelled since the organising committee couldn't agree on whether calling it 'the Sea of Japan' was politically correct in this day and age; the Antichrist cried off saying that with Simon Cowell still alive all of his work was done; and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are still mired in a particularly malevolent contraflow just outside of Basingstoke (twinned with the Infernal Pit since 4004BC).
'"I don't remember exactly, but it seems to me it could hit the Earth by 2032," said Anatoly Perminov, quoted by AP.'
So they guy who's planning on shunting around a lump of rock the size of a well-proportioned ocean liner isn't exactly sure when it's due to arrive?
Well that's delightfully reassuring.
Can't wait to see the size of the power adaptor.
Isn't it a German train that just happens to be running in China?
But then you realise a lottery-winning spliff made from the finest dried vulture brains is probably about as sensible as using homeopathy - which is available through the NHS.
I've spoken to a number of authors who have released eBook versions of their novels and each and every one of them is fed up with DRM being imposed by publishers. In a couple of cases they have said they will not be licensing stuff for eBooks in future because the DRM is so restrictive they can't market their material in certain countries.
I guess the publishers and the movie industry are in the unenviable position of being more backward than the music business.
What if I'm allergic to lilac?
After all, this is meant to be a government all about choice - why can't I choose the colour of my ID card? Why can't I have one with David Blunkett's eminently slappable face on it?
But most of all, why can't I have one with clear instructions for Home Office employees who might be thinking this is a good opportunity to deprive us of our rights. Something classy like:
'Why don't you just take this card, sharpen the edges, shove it up your capacious arse and have a good rummage?'
Oh yeah. Merry Christmas.
'The service is pitched at clueless Blighty folk, who don't know the first thing about how to get their "digital stuff to work."'
You mean clueless Blighty folk like Virgin Media?
This shut-down will give Lewis a chance to recuperate with a mince pie and an even larger thesaurus.
This daft bint has to do ONE thing to retain her ministerial salary.
Just ONE THING - she has to remember to pick up her ID card so she can do her job promoting ID cards.
And she couldn't even do that.
There are things without spines lurking in mangrove swamps blowing bubbles that would make better government officials than Meg Hillier.
(And can we have a slightly larger FAIL icon - the current one seems somewhat inadequate for this case)
'2) There is a need to specify the landmass in which "Washington" resides'
For all the times they stick a picture of the Eiffel Tower on the screen with the caption
Paris, France.
'I was under the impression that Stanza was a good sort of inbetweeny app that converted ebooks from one format to another.'
Stanza's a (very good) eBook reader, nothing else. Are you perhaps thinking of Calibre, which is, a fabulous utility for getting (most) eBooks to talk nicely with (most) eBook readers.
'As another paid-up member of the old farts club, I can assure you that in 1973 we needed all the halp we could get to cheer ourselves up, and this song went some way towards doing that'
So what you're basically saying is that Noddy's song is perfect for today's Brownian economy.
Are those sheep meant to be Irish or Scottish?
Oh and can I just have a niggle at Accenture for putting a bloody > over the letter 't'. I can? Thanks.
We already own C17's. We have pilots and navigators trained to fly them? Engineers trained to maintain them? Presumably we've also got the complementary Lockheed care plan and a warehouse full of spares to keep them in the air. The plane is available like now...
...and we've decided to go and buy something else?
The MoD simply isn't fit for purpose. We should scrap it, flog off the buildings and sell the defence contract to Tiscali who after all, have a record of ruining life for millions of people that the British military can only aspire to.
Is it too much to hope that Adobe will release a version of Flash that won't max out the processor on a Mac Pro?
'Really? Does that mean that the USA judiciary is not independent of the government then? How can a government department otherwise guarantee that a felon won't fry?'
Errr because not all crimes in America attract the death penalty?
In cases where there is a possibility of receiving the death penalty, the Department of Justice will try to get the prosecutor to agree to not seeking a capital punishment in order that extradition can proceed. But the DoJ cannot dictate to the courts what sentence should be imposed.
...until at least one police officer is sacked from the force for their actions.
Whereupon the police unions will start talking about a witch hunt.
One for the Reg's tame lawyer. Have we broken the new obscenity laws by even looking at this vital health information? If so, I can't wait for the trial.
(And is that Lewis inside the scuba outfit - the face mask was so steamed up it was hard to tell)
Might as well follow a long and honourable tradition and paint the whole of the solar system pink.
'Populist measures take effect before the election, like the "bingo tax cut" '
Oh he's cleverer than that - he whacked up the tax on bingo AT THE LAST BUDGET. The 'cut' actually still means bingo players will be paying more money than a year ago, but the tabloids will give him a break because it looks like Darling cares about their readers.
As for public sector workers - didn't you get the memo? The public sector is the great class enemy. In the last couple of weeks politicians have come to believe that the bankers who got us into this mess are a vital part of the Great British economy and we mustn't be too beastly to them otherwise they might leave the country. Teachers on the other hand...
So if you're in the public sector you're going to get hammered by whoever's in charge because even if you're a cardiac ward nurse you're politically indistinguishable from an Islington Council seasonal diversity empowerment officer. The Tories know you won't vote for them and Labour know that too.
You're thinking of Pixel Qi who have demoed a screen but haven't begun production just yet.
And yes, it is an awesome idea.
'S&S and Hachette, to be sure, are motivated primarily by the fact that ebooks command much lower prices than hardcovers'
Guess they haven't looked in the Waterstone's store where eBooks are regularly more than the same hardback from either Waterstones or Amazon. The companies claim this is because eBooks attract VAT, but I reckon it's called 'blatant profiteering' in anyone else's language.
'I want to know where they are (or we are) going to find £178B!!? '
Well, I really shouldn't tell you, but I've caught a glimpse of the next Labour manifesto; and; (promise you won't tell anyone now), New Labour are essentially going to revolutionise economics. The Treasury has recently had a lovely email from a Mrs. Abacha of Acacia Avenue, Lagos: 'I know this might come to you as a surprise, but please do accept it in good faith and treat as a matter of urgency with utmost confidentiality. I have a business proposition for you involving the sum of $ONE TRILLIONS DOLLARS!!!!'
If Labour win the next election, the very lovely Hazel Blears will be on the next plane to West Africa carrying a briefcase containing the Crown Jewels which will be needed for security or something.
There's also something about us each taking in one another's washing as a top-down-grass-roots-generational-wealth-generation-incentivisation-opportunity-initiative type thingy.
Britain - where the economy's like Iceland's - only without the fish.
